The American presidential administration has said that the Armed Forces of Ukraine will not use the new systems for targets on Russian territory.
The United States will move HIMARS multiple launch rocket systems to Ukraine, which are higher in accuracy and range than those used by the Russian army in Ukraine. This was reported by the Air Force.
However, the Biden administration has said that the Armed Forces of Ukraine will not use the new systems against targets on Russian territory.
President Joe Biden, in a published op-ed in The New York Times, clarified a bit in his words that the United States would not provide Ukraine with missiles “capable of hitting Russia.” He wrote that, through his decision, the Ukrainian Armed Forces will transfer “more high-tech missile systems that will allow them to more accurately hit key battlefield targets in Ukraine.”
According to anonymous sources in the US government media world, who began commenting after the release of the presidential column, we are talking about a small number of vehicles with medium-range missiles.
According to a Washington Post source, we are talking about a mobile missile launcher HIMARS with ammunition with a range of up to 70 km. It can be assumed that GMLRS missiles will be delivered. An AFP source said it had a range of 80 km.
Several senior U.S. officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, confirmed to the newspaper that the Ukrainian side had given them assurances that they would not fire at Russian targets. Agence France-Presse sources said the same.
HIMARS systems, according to the US government, should assist the Armed Forces of Ukraine in defeating Russian artillery, and in urban areas, for example in Severodonetsk, missiles can be used for precise strikes. in manpower.
Exactly how many cars the U.S. will send to Ukraine is not yet clear, but Washington Post sources say “a small number.” Military experts point out that the Russian army is far superior to the Ukrainian in the number of artillery weapons, even though they are inferior in their characteristics to Western guns.
It will be recalled that earlier the head of the White House denied American media information about Washington’s decision to provide Ukraine with long-range missile systems.
